{"product_id":"apple-seeds-from-cortland-apples-for-planting","title":"Apple Seeds from Cortland Apples for Planting","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese apple seeds (Malus domestica) are collected from Cortland apples. Apple seeds do not grow true to type: each seed produces a new, unique seedling tree, so the fruit will differ from Cortland apples in size, color and flavor. To grow Cortland apples specifically, a grafted Cortland tree is needed. Seedling apple trees are often grown as an experiment, for rootstock or as flowering trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeeds need 60–90 days of cold, moist stratification (in the refrigerator) before sowing about ½–1 inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil. Seedling trees can reach 20–30 ft, usually take several years (often 6–10) to flower and fruit, and need another apple or crabapple variety blooming nearby for pollination. Best suited to temperate climates with cold winters. Germination, growth and fruiting vary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45560585453751,"sku":"RA_DEC_25_281","price":16.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__the-style-is-candid-image-photography-with-natural__79863.png?v=1766474433","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/apple-seeds-from-cortland-apples-for-planting","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
